#NIKE AIR ZOOM SUPERREP 2 X REVIEWS FULL#

It felt like the need to comprise a sleek design actually compromised comfort.

These shoes performed well, but the narrow fit made endurance rides feel a bit tedious, and we have certainly tested far more comfortable shoes for longer rides. The recessed cleats also create a great connection between foot and pedal which improves alignment and technique, and the stiff internal plate under foot optimizes energy return for a more efficient cycle.

They’re cut just under the ankle so you can benefit from full range of motion through your foot as you pedal, and they felt secure throughout both our test rides, with limited slippage or movement during the push-pull phases. Whether you’re smashing it out at a 90’s themed SoulCycle or powering it up the peaks on a guided endurance ride – the SuperReps perform. We found clipping in and out of the Peloton super quick and easy, but learning how cycling shoes work (opens in new tab) could also save you some time and faff if you’re keen to get going. The rubber base gives you far more grip as you walk and has space to make contact with the ground, while the hard plastic sole provides plenty of support and some necessary rigidity.Īlthough there are no cleats included, Nike does provide washers, bolt screws, and an adaptable cleat insert plate. This means the cleat itself sits nearly flush to the bottom so that you can walk properly, rather than click-clacking around. We love how the recessed cleats attach through the sole of the shoe. Even if you’re a total newcomer, it’s a comprehensive introduction to fitting out your new kicks – though we recommend having an allan key on hand for the fiddly plates and screws (and some patience.)

Some users have mentioned a lack of instruction for fitting the cleats, but we found the installation guide (opens in new tab) on Nike’s website very helpful for a step-by-step guide. They’re also 2-bolt and 3-bolt compatible which is a huge tick if you’re looking for some diversity between road and mountain cycling. These sleek additions to the cycling world are no different – they look impressive, with crossover hook and loop velcro straps to secure your heel and toes.

It goes without saying that Nike has a rep for fiercely good looking footwear.
